The Best of 2014: A Year in Film

Another Oscar ceremony arrives this weekend, another look back at the last year in film. 2014 was full of a lot great films and I’m here to share my favorites.

Book Review: The Deep by Nick Cutter

Let’s play a game of “Would You Rather”: Would you rather live in space or at the bottom of the ocean? Don’t ask me why, but I’ve thought about this A LOT, and after weighing the cons of all options, I decided the sea isn’t for me because of the possibility of waking up to […]

Book Review: What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions

Before I get into the main body of my review I have one thing to say: How dare you, Randall Munroe!? You cannot put a T-Rex being lowered into the sarlacc pit on the cover of your book that promises to provide answers to ridiculous scenarios and then not address this situation. How dare you!? […]

The Breakdown: Hitman: Agent 47 Official 1st Trailer

No matter how angry the last game in the series made me for constantly corrupting my save file so that I would have to start all over after I had already almost reached the end of the main campaign, I still love the Hitman series. I even liked the last film with Timothy Olyphant. So […]

Film Review: Kingsman: The Secret Service

But still, it was setting itself up to crash hard, right next to the burning wreckage of Jupiter Ascending. Thankfully Kingsman doesn’t disappoint, […]

Grant’s Film Awards for 2014

As the Academy Awards are around the corner, I took a look back at the best films of 2014. Also, I answered the tough questions like: what was the best Tom Cruise movie of 2014?

Dissecting Jupiter Ascending

Zac: Jupiter Ascending is big, fun and weird sci-fi from the Wachowskis that entertained me from start to finish; shortcomings and all. Lauren: Poop jokes are entertaining too, but at the end of the day they’re still just a pile of excrement. Jupiter Ascending is a big ol’ pile.

The Breakdown: Magic Mike XXL Teaser Trailer

Is Magic Mike XXL the type of movie that really needs the trailer to be broken down? No. Am I going to do it anyway? Absolutely.
